Who's
Telling You?

You pulled up to me at a traffic light
You said “I know the man you’re with tonight.
“You think he belongs to you alone.”
Then you smiled and you were gone.

Who’s telling you what I’m feeling?
Who’s tellling you who I’m seeing?
Who’s telling you what I’m needing?
Who’s telling you?

You leave messages on my machine
Telling me the things you’ve heard and seen
Things about me no one else could know
Where am I to go?
Who’s telling you?

I know you’ve got somebody watching me
A gang of people from Security
I’m being followed everywhere I go
So you can learn the things that
You’re not supposed to know.
Those little cameras and microphones
In every corner of my Home Sweet Home
But I’d rather think you have a screen to display me
Than have to think my best friends would betray me
And spill my secrets to you

I can’t talk to anyone I know
All my secrets are a public show
Any friend could be your secret spy
There to watch me cry.
Who’s telling you?

(Who’s telling you?)
The way I cut my hair
What time I go to bed
The book I read last week
The music in my head
The guy that I’ve been seeing
The way he holds me tight
The pain that I’ve been feeling
The way I cry at night
Who’s telling you?

I dpn’t want to spend my life in fear
Wondering what you will overhear
Wondering what you are gonna do
If I escape from you.
Who’s telling you what I’m feeling?
Who’s tellling you who I’m seeing?
Who’s telling you what I’m needing?
Who’s telling you?
